You must have Allow Printing privileges to save records as a PDF file. You
must have Allow Exporting privileges to export records as a Microsoft Excel
or Excel 2007/2008 worksheet. For more information about saving records as
PDF or Excel files, see
“Saving and sending data in other formats” on
page 163.
Note The Full Access privilege set is the only one that permits access to the
Manage Database and Manage External Data Sources dialog boxes in order to
modify fields, tables, relationships, and data sources. It is also the only privilege set
that permits changing accounts and privileges. Because you cannot enable these
privileges in any other privilege set, any user that wants to make database definition
changes or privileges changes must open the file with an account that is assigned
the Full Access privilege set.
At least one active, FileMaker authenticated account in each file must be
assigned the Full Access privilege set. An error message will appear if you edit
accounts so that no active account is assigned the Full Access privilege set.
Planning security for a file
A new FileMaker Pro file is initially unprotected. Whenever the file opens, it
automatically logs in the user with the Admin account, which is assigned the
Full Access privilege set.
1 If you simply want to keep someone else from opening a database file on
your computer, you can password-protect the file. For more information,
see
“Password-protecting a file” on page 183.
